New screen with update?

Yea. I was holding off. But I think it’s time. The screen going blank so no reverse screen is alone a safety law violation.
But the randomness and unknown “settings” of the suspension and traction control etc are also safety violations
 
Let us know the template and I’ll submit mine too.
 
Perfect. Thanks
 
My 20[XX] Ram 1500 TRX has recurring safety-related failures of the infotainment system affecting both Uconnect 5 (12” screen) and earlier Uconnect 4 units. These issues are widespread in 2021–2024 Ram TRX and Ram 1500 models and began or worsened after forced over-the-air updates.

The primary defect is black-screen failures while driving. When the screen goes black or freezes, the truck loses all functions controlled through the display, including HVAC/defrost, backup camera, vehicle settings, seat controls, and performance gauges. This creates an immediate safety hazard: I cannot adjust climate/defrost, cannot see the required rear-view camera when shifting to reverse, and cannot access key vehicle information.

Owners across multiple years consistently report:
• Black screens, freezes, and reboots
• Loss of HVAC control and dual-zone functions
• Backup camera not displaying
• Vehicle/Apps tabs failing to open
• Uconnect error messages
• Smaller, harder-to-read gauges after updates
• Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto failures
• No option to decline or roll back OTA updates

These failures distract the driver, remove access to federally required equipment (rear camera), and eliminate visibility and climate controls that directly affect safe operation. The system becomes unpredictable and unstable despite the vehicle being in motion.

My vehicle experiences the same issues, including: [Insert brief personal symptoms: e.g., black screen while driving, loss of HVAC, camera not available, system rebooting, etc.]

Because this affects essential safety-related controls and visibility, I believe this is a safety defect in Ram/Stellantis Uconnect 4 and Uconnect 5 systems. I request NHTSA open a defect investigation and require Ram to correct these failures.
 
Had the back up camera freeze while in use and almost caused an accident. Now my family and I don’t trust the backup camera anymore.
 
Great, submitted.

Why are you including UC4 in your complaint?

Not that I dont like using a camera, but I still 99 percent of the time don't rely on a back up camera unless I slept wrong and have a sore neck 😂
